I had a great ride home this aftn. I did a little trail-ridin’ on the OBP. I like to ride down the Bikepath, and every once and awhile I’ll take some of those dirt trails that you see breaking off of the path. I found one today that took me into the woods for a spell. Ducking branches, and following the narrow dirt trail that took me along the river. Stopping to enjoy the scenery. Came across a few fishermen, but that was it. Totally off the trail and all by myself. Sitting by the river I saw the small rain front come thru and made my way towards home. Rode thru Worthington riding in the steady light rain. I looked over my shoulder and saw the blue skies to the west and figured the rain would’nt last long. Which it didn’t.. For awhile I thought that maybe I should stop and put my rain jacket on. But I said the heck with it. I’m on my way home So I rode in the rain. I noticed the cagers looking at me getting wet and how they’re all tucked in their vehicles all nice and comfy with the AC on. They don’t know what they’re missing. I kept thinking to myself that this is what bike commuting is all about. Being totally relaxed on the way home, taking in all of the environment around me. Kinda like in the winter when I’d be the only rider out there and folks looking at me like I’m nuts for riding in those extreme conditions, but I’m enjoying every minute of it, cause I know that I can do it. Rode the rest of the way and was about half dried off. This is what bike commuting is all about. In tune and with Mother Nature.
